omg I read this on ohunlimited and it gave me SO MUCH GLEE at the time ;~~; not least because I absolutely love taohun and ~first time~/revelation fics and this is the best kind because it combines both >__< ALSO PENPALS!! THREE THINGS I LOVE ahhhhhh and then your writing is sooo charming let me see if I can pick out my favorite parts (can I even pick out my favorite parts!!): their cute letters!!!! sehun's shitty english l m a o tao's slightly better english ;~; I hope you will send me a very expensive and fancy present!!! Just kidding!!! THIS CUTE AS HELL TAO I'M SO MAD no jk I could never be mad, your tao voice is so cute ;__; He remembers being scared of Jung Soojung in elementary school, though, and isn’t sure if it was because she was pretty or because she was bossy. THIS KRYSTAL CAMEO was really exciting to me for some reason and I really like how you ~weaved in~ parts of backstory without losing the original thread of the story, also your side characters were a lot of fun >__< “Sehun,” Tao says gently. “I mean this in the most ( ... )

omg i love this comment ;~~; thank you so much for all the lovely compliments!

tao is always so fun to write, he's such a cute person. sehun is a little harder to get a grip on; i think he always ends up being my little proxy in some ways. i loved having krystal in there! that whole sequence in part 2 wasn't meant to be there originally, because i was writing the story backwards at that point, and then suddenly in part 3 sehun's all jealous of wu yifan and then tao brought up krystal and i was like "hmmmmm WELL THAT NEEDS TO BE EXPLORED" lmao.

i loved writing their little conversation in the subway. ugh fuckin taohun turning my heart into a little marshmallow ;~~;

ty sosososo much for this comment, it really made my night! <3

oh god. i loved this fic so so soooo much. i can't even tell you. it was wonderful to read, and so real. you did an amazing job of making it all believable and reading the letters honestly made me feel like this could be based on a true story or something. the ending was absolutely perfect and adorable as well. i just. ;n; this fic was basically everything i wanted from a taohun au. i loved it!

*cries* okay okay oh my god.

first of all. 11 YEAR OLD SEHUN WRITING IN ENGLISH. HOW CUTE WAS THAT???? and then krjhegkje tao studying to become a physical therapist. that's so cool bc I'm graduating to college this year and that's the course I'm hoping to study XD well I'm also hoping to get a student visa to visit china, ireland and korea so I probably shouldn't hope too much hahahaha

it's so cool how sweet and how heart warming this is. I've never had friends that I could confide to the way tao and sehun did. I feel sad now HAHA which wasn't was supposed to happen but yeah feels~ oh god I think I feel like jongin did when he told sehun how he thought it was cool that tao kept in touch with him all those years
the way their relationship bloomed seemed so natural and everything flowed together so well.
anyways, author-nimmmm, you wrote this so amazingly. I loved it. it makes me feel so happy now :)
fantastic job, and happy new year! much love~

oh cool! i've known some people studying PT, it's a pretty intense course in the states, something like six years of study to get your license? crazy! best of luck in your studies. :3

this story was kind of special to me because those pen pals of mine were the people i always told my dark scary feelings to, and i'm so glad i had them there at those times in my life, because i always felt like the people in my everyday world wouldn't understand. i'm so happy you thought their relationship felt natural, that was really what i was striving for. ;~~;

thank you so much for your lovely comment - happy new year to you as well! <3
